Storeganising 🤔

General Discussion

Tools…we all love em! But like with anything else, the time comes when space starts wearing thin and things start piling up. That’s when you need to get storeganising.

We’ve gone deep into the world of tool storage and organisation to give you the best info, tips, and advice on how you get and keep your tools sorted.

From why storage matters and best practices for tool organisation, all the way to how weather conditions effect your tools, we’ve covered it all!

We’ve picked out 16 ways to storeganise your tools, which one tickles your fancy?:

  1. The Lost in the Shadows

  2. The Peg Up

  3. The ‘Throw it and Hope’ (you find it again)

  4. The Wall-e

  5. The Mag-e

  6. The ‘CAUTION: Sharp around the edges’

  7. The Light and Fluffy

  8. The Under Cut Wood

  9. The At Wit’s End

  10. The If You Like It… Then You Shoulda Put A Cover On It

  11. The For Box Sake

  12. The Pinch of Pain

  13. The Battery Pack

  14. The Train Ride

  15. The Friday Night Special

  16. The Leftovers

The titles do warrant a chuckle once you realise what it’s all about :joy:

I’m more of a ‘Peg Up’ kind of person, but more importantly what’s your organising style?

Have a read and let us know what you think in the comments below :down_arrow:!

We’d love to know if there’s anything we’ve missed, and also what storeganising systems you’ve got in place.

Feels familiar:

and:

is a classic (pair it w/ the Lost Art Press book on H.O. Studley’s chest if your tolerance for typos is up to it).

I like the bridgerberdel’s milk crate idea…thinking outside of the box there!

The missing link above is to the book Virtuoso from the Lost Art Press which is on H.O. Studley’s tool chest.

I’m serious about the typo tolerance needed — there’s a missing photo for which a cancel was never done, and they mis-spell Studley’s name on the inside front cover.

Please can you post the link here in the comments for any interested members? :blush:

The shop link is:

and there was a PDF extract there, but it’s not letting me download it — there’s a wrong photo in it, should show a pair of two jeweler’s pliers, but instead shows a single flat pliers which is a repeated photo from another page.

If you search for my name and “virtuoso” and “typos”, I’m sure that the extensive lists of errors which I have noted, and which a second printing has not yet been made of to correct them, will turn up.

It’s a great book, but I just can’t imagine how so many typos could have been allowed to stand, or how the typesetting could be so pedestrian (doesn’t even use multiplication or prime symbols or nicely formatted fractions for the myriad dimensions).
